00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.100
Hi my friends, welcome to Day 7 Celebrating Small Wins.

2
00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:12.420
Psalm 118.24 says, This is the day that the Lord has made, and let us rejoice and be glad

3
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:13.820
in it.

4
00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:19.760
You know, sometimes life can be hard and pursuing your dreams is challenging.

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.940
It's more like a roller coaster ride than a walk in the park.

6
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:28.700
But celebrating small wins can make it that much more possible.

7
00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:33.660
You see, it's essential to motivate you and to encourage you, and not just celebrating

8
00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:39.620
the grand huge big goals that you have, but the little teeny steps along the way.

9
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.340
Think of it like a little kid learning to walk.

10
00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:45.260
How much you cheer them on when they take their first steps.

11
00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:50.620
You see, that is how your Father in heaven just celebrates the progress that you're making

12
00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:55.860
towards walking in your true purpose and calling and pursuing your dreams.

13
00:00:55.860 --> 00:01:01.500
And so how much more should we be celebrating too if the God of the universe is there for

14
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.099
us and celebrating us?

15
00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:08.800
In addition to celebrating small wins, they're victories and testimonies of our progress

16
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:11.820
and dedication and faithfulness of God.

17
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:17.940
So take time today and reflect on your achievements, no matter how minor they might seem.

18
00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:21.980
Maybe it's the conversation with a friend or the prayer with a coworker.

19
00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:26.500
Maybe it's writing that first sentence or buying the URL.

20
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:28.100
Whatever it is, celebrate it.

21
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:34.900
Make sure you share it with your friends and loved ones and allow this encouragement to uplift you.

22
00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:39.820
Remember God delights in progress and he delights to see the work begin.

23
00:01:39.820 --> 00:01:43.860
So celebrate your success and small wins today.

24
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:49.140
So our observation is what small victories have you achieved recently?

25
00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:50.620
Think about the past week.

26
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:55.780
What's one thing small that you can just celebrate and be excited for and grateful

27
00:01:55.780 --> 00:02:00.940
and ask God to give you his eyes to see the importance of it?

28
00:02:00.940 --> 00:02:04.820
And then write down three small wins and celebrate them.

29
00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:09.060
Treat yourself to something or have a coffee with a friend or go for a walk.

30
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:10.699
Do something fun to celebrate.

31
00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:12.900
Put on some favorite music and dance.

32
00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:16.340
Okay, so let me pray for you, my friend.

33
00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:20.420
So God, I just thank you that you're a God of celebration.

34
00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:25.540
I thank you that even in the difficulties of life, Lord, that you took time to celebrate.

35
00:02:25.540 --> 00:02:30.020
You love friends and family and it was so close to your heart, God, to just bring us

36
00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:32.500
all into the family of God.

37
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:36.860
And so God, I pray that you would encourage my friends this day, give them eyes to see

38
00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:42.140
the progress that they're making, to see your heart in celebration, encourage them in the

39
00:02:42.140 --> 00:02:43.900
journey that they're walking.

40
00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:48.260
May they have a heart of gratitude in the progress that they're making.

41
00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:54.460
May they not discount the small steps and may they be inspired, God, by your word and

42
00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:57.060
the fact that you're a God of celebration.

43
00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:58.620
In Jesus name, amen.

44
00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:00.460
Okay, bye, my friend.

45
00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:01.620
See you tomorrow.
